"225" by New Model Army (from the album "Thunder and Consolation") ================================================================== Transcribed by : Juergen Bohn (Juergen.Bohn@ira.uka.de)

^DShe stares at the screen At the little words of green ^AmTries to remember w^Ghat to do nex^Dt

^DThere's a trace of frustration That crosses her face ^AmSearching for the k^Geys she should pre^Dss

^FAnd I would help her If I onl^Dy know how But these thin^Cgs are a mystery to me t^Foo

And it s^Deems that the co^Grporate ^AmEyes they are wa^Gtching She fe^Dars for her jo^Gb And the mome^Amnts are pass^Ging I sta^Dre at her nameta^Gg And th^Amink to mysel^Gf Both you and ^DI, we never aske^Cd For any^D of this

Chord pattern is the same for the rest of the song So let's take a walk Up past the chemical works Where the sky turns green at night And we'll talk about Bout getting away from here Some difference kind of life But even in the freshest mountain air While the jet fighters practice overhead And they're drilling these hills For uranium deposits And they'll bury the waste For our children to inherit And though this is all done For our own benefit, I swear We never asked for any of this Well this golden age of communication Means everyone talks at the same time And liberty just means Some freedom to exploit Any weakness that you can find Well turn off the TV just for a while Let us whisper to each other instead And we'll hope that the corporate ears Do not listen Unless we find ourselves committing Some kind of treason And filed in the tapes Without rhyme, without reason While they tell us that it's all For our own protection, I swear We never asked for any of this... *************** NOT MY TABS!
